Other consumer safety information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying
the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was
selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary,
an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this
appliance.
